Now Buy an OnePlus X without bothering about an Invite!

OnePlus has now announced their plans to make the OnePlus X completely invite-free. Surprisingly though a report by Gadgets360 claims that the invite-free 'scheme' is applicable for markets other than India.

Apparently the Taiwanese company claims that the invite-free sales for the device will proceed 'shortly' in the country. For those unware it is worth noting that OnePlus have failed to meet their invite-free announcement deadline a few times before, so they are seemingly doing justice to themselves by stating 'shortly'.

We largely owe our success to your unrelenting support, so we hope that this development will make the process of purchasing your very own OnePlus X as smooth and effortless as it can possibly be."

After having been heavily criticized regarding the flawed Invite System for the OnePlus 2, the company was always trying to shed the baggage behind this their OnePlus X by conducting invite free weekly sales on Tuesday.

Among these the Ceramic one is the costliest at Rs 22,999 while the other two costs Rs 16,999 respectively.

"Unlike its predecessor, the OnePlus 2 was invite-free approximately four months after its release. With the OnePlus X going invite-free in even less time, this is a trend that we mean to continue," added Pei.
